...last salute was sounding for an old and good friend, Captain Everett ("Swede") Hazlett, U.S.N. (ret.), who died last week of cancer. A high school chum of Ike's back in Abilene, Swede spent many an hour at the Belle Springs Creamery playing penny-ante poker with Night Foreman Eisenhower during the long, lonely night shift. It was Hazlett who persuaded Ike to try for a military career, helped him cram for his Annapolis-West Point competitive exam. (Ike went to West Point because he was too old for Annapolis.) At his old friend's funeral, the President...
...Anita Lopez was a bewigged male. On down the back end (the sideshows) of the carny, they plunked their dimes down for Jennie Thurman, "The Girl in the Iron Lung." (Healthy Jennie, 17, "did have a touch of polio" once when she was a little girl, insists her father, foreman at the Ferris wheel...
When Japanese laborers were digging up a hillside to widen a highway a year ago, they unearthed a cache of hundreds of small clay figures. Callously the highway crew smashed the figures into the roadbed, but their foreman told the story at the sake house that night.

As Navy Secretary, he sped the fleet into the age of seaborne missile armaments and atom power...
...moving utterance of the commercial muse: a true myth. Set down with crude force by Jan de Hartog in Book I of his 1952 novel, The Distant Shore, the myth has been clarified and rationalized with a masterly sense of symbolic logic by Scriptwriter-Producer Carl (High Noon) Foreman and Director Carol (Trapeze) Reed. On the surface, the film seems little different from a hundred other stories of men in war and women in love-except perhaps in the finesse of the witty and suspenseful writing and editing. But just beneath the surface can be glimpsed the glinting corpus...
